Wow, Larry's cranking up the mileage.
Today was my 7th of 8 practice runs prior to the 5k. Nice morning to run - cooler, low humidity, almost a full moon so I could actually see where I was going.
2.78 miles (same course as last week)
27:05
9:44 mins/mile
Considering that I ran the same course, I was about 30 seconds slower than last Thursday even though iMap says my pace was quicker. I must have slowed a bit on the hills midway through the run. The difference today is that I didn't feel like I was going to die at the end of my run. I was pretty wiped, but not quite as bad as I was last Thursday. I could have slowed down to a walk, walked maybe 30 seconds and then started running again which I couldn't do last Thursday. It still hurts though - calves, ankles, Achilles, lungs - it all hurts.
So then I went inside and did 25 minutes of kickboxing.
